Construction Brothers

We talk to the founder of Dusty Robotics! Tessa brings insights into how CAD drawings have more use cases than we currently use them for and has designed a robot that takes these drawings and prints them on a site. While Tyler draws up his BattleBot, Tessa talks about how humanitarian issues created a desire to enter the robotics field and find creative ways to help people. Designated as a Chief Robot Whisperer, Tessa’s goal is to create robots that can do the things we can’t or don’t want to do. Related Links:Dusty RoboticsTessa's LinkedIn Thanks for listening!

Decisions, decisions, decisions. How do we make the right one? How do we know the direction to go? Is there a right and wrong decision? We sit down and talk with Nathan Clark about choosing technologies that work. We learned about Nathan through LinkedIn where he shared a blog post he wrote about the philosophy behind decision making. We enjoyed reading it so much that we thought we would bring him on the show!  Related Links:Nathan's LinkedInNathan's BlogpostFonn Construction Thanks for listening!

Go ahead and pick up an 8-count chicken nugget meal with a sweet tea, because this episode is going to make you hungry. We talk about Chick-Fil-A’s extreme ability to go the extra mile, try a new service idea, and make customers happy. We dig into how we can apply Chick-Fil-A’s workflows and ideologies to the construction industry to make our industry a better place to work and to create value in the exchange. We look into the idea of switching mindsets from providing a service to providing a product. We talk about innovation and its root in the past and how an appreciation of the past helps us move forward.

In today’s episode, Trimble’s very own Amy Northcutt. Amy is the Senior Education Program Manager which means she gets to help schools implement classes and training that translate well to the field.

Is your information available to all of the people in your organization? How does your team manage their data? This week, we take a Tactical Pause and evaluate some of these questions. One of the biggest things that grind our gears around the office is the assortment of applications we have to deal with working with different contractors. Kelly Doyle is the C.O.O. of ProjectReady, a platform that connects various project management tools together and allows teams to see all of their information in an easily accessible way. We dive into how information silos are formed by our companies unknowingly, choosing your apps wisely, and how to get started selecting what tools your team will use.

As people who see over 100 drawing sets a year cross our threshold, you better believe we've found a few things Architects do that are pain points. So this week, at the request of an Instagram follower who is an Architect, we dive into some issues that we commonly run into as modelers.  This isn't meant to slam architects, but to inform and try to spur conversation.  Thanks for listening!

This week we revisit our conversation with Eric Reinholdt.  If you enjoy going down YouTube rabbit holes as Tyler does, you've most likely stumbled across the 30X40 Design Workshop's channel. The 30X40 channel was started by Architect, Eric Reinholdt, to give a behind-the-scenes look at his design process. It is now one of the most successful architecture channels with over 600K subscribers. We loved hearing the passion for craftsmanship and art as he talked about what he gets to do every day. We couldn't be more excited about this episode and hope you go check out his channel as a result! Special thanks to Eric for taking the time to chat with us!

This week we talked with Matt Byrd. We had the pleasure of working with Matt and the Nexus team on a project and wanted to walk through the job we worked on together.  What are some common misconceptions of point clouds?  How do the trades use point clouds differently?  We talk about how to use point clouds appropriately when point clouds work, and even our own personal pinch points in using point clouds. Laser scanning is cool, but let's talk about implementation and use cases.
